Changes could be coming to the BCS

Change is coming to the BCS, and judging by the talk coming out of Tuesday's meeting of conference commissioners, that change could be fairly drastic. A four-team playoff or some other model featuring an additional game or games? On the table. The elimination of the automatic qualifying designation that created a clearly delineated caste system in college football? On the table.

"Everything," Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany said, "is in the mix."

"The environment has changed in the sense that we had five people who didn't want to talk about it among the seven founders," Delany said. "The seven founders are the six conferences plus Notre Dame. Four years ago, five of us didn't want to have the conversation. Now, people want to have the conversation."

Please, please, please give us some kind of playoff!!

+1 works just fine for me. I can live with the #5 team in the nation bitching "we should have got in". I'm not in favor of a playoff. I don't care how well the #8 team is playing at the end of the year, you don't deserve a crack at the title.

I'm fine with a small playoff, I just hate when there's a bunch of teams with one lost and no way to prove who should play for the title. Don't get me wrong I believe the two teams that played for the title were the best two teams but I think OK state and Stanford have a right to bitch about being left out

I just hope they don't do some BS like save an AQ spot for conference winners and/or non-BCS schools.

Too bad OSU won't be apart of the changes in a while.

You should be glad Josh this means if michigan has a good enough team they could still play for the title after they lose to us

LOL @ Buckeye delusion!

LOL like either Michigan or Ohio State will play for a National Title anytime soon. Atleast my team has the opportunity to choke as the #1 team. Your teams won't get that opportunity for awhile.

there you go Josh

LOL @ Sooner fans in preseason glory every year!

Don't worry. One day your program might come up enough to be in National Title discussions again. One day...

I agree now, I used to bitch for a playoff but not anymore. I also think it should just be the top 8 teams regardless of anything else. If that means 5 SEC teams get in and it's only them Big 10, Big 12, whatever then so be it.
I also wish they'd stop using the other polls in the BCS mix. The best part of the BCS is that their polls don't come out till week 8 and that's exactly how it should be.

Well said sir, glad you can finally see the light.
